Product details

The Schneider Electric TM221ME32TK is a Modicon M221 programmable logic controller sized for standalone machine control. It carries 32 discrete I/O — all transistor type on the outputs — which means it switches resistive and inductive loads up to its rated voltage without the mechanical wear of a relay. The housing is a compact 70 mm square on the DIN-rail face, 90 mm tall, fitting a narrow cabinet slot. Three ports: Ethernet (100 m), USB (480 Mbit/s), serial (RS-232/485, 3/15 m). Real-time clock with replaceable lithium battery holds time 1 year at 25 °C without power. Application memory is 256 kB RAM (with flash backup) rated for 10,000 instructions, plus an adjustable PID regulator supporting up to 14 simultaneous loops. For fast sensing, the six fast inputs (I0, I1, I6, I7) respond in 5 µs turn-on/turn-off; the standard inputs handle 35 µs. The two high-speed outputs (Q0, Q1) switch in 5 µs, enough for pulse trains up to the frequency generator or PWM functions.

Standards and compliance reference

The TM221ME32TK carries CE marking and is certified to IEC 61131-2, UL 508, CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 213, IACS, and ANSI/ISA 12-12-01. It is rated for pollution degree 2, surge withstand per IEC 61000-4-5, and is suitable for installation on TH35-7.5 or TH35-15 DIN rail per IEC 60715. The enclosure is IP20 (implied by the product range).
